Decarbonisation path in the European Union – current situation, measures and policies

Climate change has become an ongoing issue in the modern world. In the past twenty years, many changes have happened in the economic and social spheres. Decarbonisation is the process that encourages European Union leaders to develop ambitious measures and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to present the meaning of the decarbonisation process, the progress achieved and the policies and measures that are encouraging this process. The study provides an overview of energy consumption and GHG emissions data and shows that European Union is well on its way to decarbonisation. Although fossil fuels account for the largest share of energy consumption, the European Union is developing strategies to introduce hydrogen as the fuel of the future. Nevertheless, the decarbonisation process has started in Europe and there is still much to do, especially in the field of innovation and development
